Gutter Snipe......Well if you got the trend right which was up, why did you not buy Lloyds at 42p?

GS......."Please discuss"

Well you said in January when the SP was 42p............."Get ready to buy if it hits 39 pence".

STP today......."Utterly condemn the rac15t rioting in recent days. These are nothing more than hooligans and the vast majority of British people abhor this violence, looting and disorder. The attacks on mosques is despicable. We must be careful not to express views which can be seen to give succour to these hooligans! I am happy to see our new Labour government has come out and given full support to the Muslim community, in our country!"

STP 19th July.........."I would prefer to see discussion relating to lloyds, not a pile of political crap, that has nothing to do with lloyds shares."

A housing impact investment fund run out of Lloyds Banking Group has snapped up a new 397 bed purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) development in Stratford in a deal worth nearly £300m.

The Housing Growth Partnership (HGP), which is a joint venture between Lloyds and Homes England and was set up increase the supply of affordable housing, made the forward purchase from London-listed Watkin Jones, one of the UK’s leading build-to-rent specialists.

The transaction is the first between the two parties and was delivered through an innovative structure, the receipts from which will be spread across the scheme’s three year development.

The two organisations have created a new joint venture, three quarters of which is owned by HGP and 25 per cent by Watkin Jones.

Asp1....."FCA Car Finance report - 25th Sept"

You need to catch up with the times. That has now been postponed to May 2025.

"We intend to set out the findings of our review, and whether we plan to introduce an alternative way of dealing with DCA complaints by end of May 2025. We’ve explained the steps we must take to reach this point."

"Therefore, my overall forecast for next week is "slightly bullish" with a secondary expectation for "continued volatility." “

US Banks are down today but they did not get the mauling that the UK Banks got!

And you're another Walter Mitty living in your own fantasy world STP.

🎣🎣 took you a while to take the bait today 🤣

How can you be down 5 digits today when you told us all you made your Lloyds investments twice at 24p, in the GFC of 2008, and the COVID crash 2020? Or are you a liar? Hmmmmmmmmm. That's an occupational hazard for pathological liars, they lie that much they forget what lies they have told. 🤡🤡🤡

US markets did not get a rate cut and DOW, S&P and NASDAQ tanks today. UK markets got the rate cut they wanted today and FTSE tanks. 🤔

"I'm down in 5 digits today. Not a happy chappie, at all."

Unfortunately it has not stopped you hitting the keys on the keyboard!

"For all the new guys there's nothing to worry about the share has gone ex dividend. That means if you buy today you won't get the divi so the share price adjustment is just that it takes into account that you miss out of you buy today so the price reflects that. "

From your post it looks like you are the new guy? The dividend was 1.06p. The drop was 3.42p. The drop is more than 3 times the dividend payment.

"Nice to see Labour have cut interest rates."

Naff all to do with Labour FFS! Remember it was Labours Tony Blair and Gordon Brown who took interest rate setting decisions out of Government hands and transferred the responsibility to the BoE, for the very reason that politician's could not misuse this responsibility to gain favour with voters.

"See if the buyback ramps up today or not.."

Well it ramped up with yesterdays drop with 39,220,685 shares bought back, so I hope to see a similar, if not larger amount bought back today.

The Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate at 5.25% to 5.5%, citing “some further progress” toward its 2% inflation goal. At his press conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said a rate cut in September is “on the table,” provided the inflation data continues to be encouraging. The comments propelled stocks to their highs of the day.

All eyes now on the BoE MPC meeting today.
